Yours, O LORD
This phrase establishes the ownership and sovereignty of God over all things. The Hebrew word for "LORD" here is "Yahweh," the personal name of God, emphasizing His eternal and self-existent nature. This declaration is a recognition of God's ultimate authority and His intimate relationship with His people. Historically, this acknowledgment was crucial for Israel, as it set the foundation for their identity as a nation chosen by God.

is the greatness
The term "greatness" in Hebrew is "gedullah," which conveys the idea of magnitude and importance. This word reflects God's supreme status above all creation. In the context of ancient Israel, recognizing God's greatness was essential for understanding His role as the Creator and Sustainer of the universe, which was a central theme in the worship and theology of the Israelites.

and the power
The Hebrew word for "power" is "geburah," indicating might and strength. This term underscores God's ability to act and intervene in the world. In the biblical narrative, God's power is demonstrated through His acts of creation, deliverance, and judgment. For the Israelites, acknowledging God's power was a source of comfort and assurance, knowing that their God was capable of overcoming any obstacle.

and the glory
"Glory" in Hebrew is "kabod," which signifies weightiness or honor. This word is often associated with God's manifest presence and His reputation among the nations. The glory of God is a recurring theme in Scripture, representing His holiness and the reverence due to Him. In the context of worship, giving glory to God was an act of ascribing to Him the honor and praise He deserves.

and the splendor
The term "splendor" is translated from the Hebrew word "tiferet," which means beauty or magnificence. This word highlights the aesthetic and awe-inspiring aspects of God's nature. In the ancient Near Eastern context, splendor was often associated with royalty and divinity, emphasizing the majestic and transcendent qualities of God.

and the majesty
"Majesty" in Hebrew is "hod," referring to grandeur and dignity. This term is used to describe the regal and sovereign aspects of God's character. The majesty of God is a reminder of His kingly rule and the respect and honor that are due to Him as the ultimate authority over all creation.

for everything in heaven and on earth is Yours
This phrase affirms God's ownership of all creation. The Hebrew word for "everything" is "kol," meaning all or every. This comprehensive statement reflects the biblical worldview that God is the Creator and Sustainer of the universe. It serves as a reminder of humanity's stewardship under God's authority and the call to live in accordance with His will.

Yours, O LORD, is the kingdom
The word "kingdom" in Hebrew is "mamlakah," denoting dominion and rule. This phrase acknowledges God's sovereign rule over all realms, both spiritual and earthly. In the biblical context, God's kingdom is both a present reality and a future hope, where His will is perfectly realized.

and You are exalted as head over all
The term "exalted" is from the Hebrew "rum," meaning to be high or lifted up. This phrase emphasizes God's supreme position above all powers and authorities. The concept of God as "head over all" reinforces His ultimate authority and the rightful place of worship and submission that His creation owes Him. This acknowledgment of God's exaltation is a central tenet of faith, inspiring believers to trust in His sovereign plan and purpose.

(11) Thine, O Lord, is the greatness.--The point of 1Chronicles 29:11-12 seems to be that David arrogates nothing to himself; but, with the humility of genuine greatness, ascribes everything to God. As if he said, "The greatness of my kingdom, the prowess of my warriors, the splendour and majesty of my throne, are thine, for thine are all things."

Greatness.--G?dull?h, a late word. (Comp. Psalm 71:21; Psalm 145:3.)

Power.--Strictly, manly strength; then valour, prowess (Psalm 21:13). (Comp. Exodus 15:3.) . . .
